God is our eternal refuge. Just think of that for a moment. There will never be a time in all eternity where you will ever be unprotected. You can feel safe and secure knowing that your God and Father will forever carry you in His everlasting arms!
When our children were little, I loved holding them in my arms. It felt so good, and my children enjoyed the safety and security of that feeling, too. If, as fathers, we were meant to be a foreshadow of the true Father, then I would imagine that God would feel the same sense of satisfaction and contentment when He is holding us in His big, strong arms.
In Psalm 27:1, David declares … The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? (NIV). David wasn’t afraid of his enemies because he was completely aware that the everlasting arms of God Himself were protecting him. May we all be encouraged today by this tangible reality. If we have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to us, we will find safety in the everlasting arms of our Papa!
